[cherry pop festival virgin]

My overall preparation for my first festival ( including camping, was pretty spot on...so I'm chuffed about that.
My overall experiences I take away from V is also overall pretty good, as you can see below even the little things count to me, yes some are random

• Now have an appetite to find out which artists are playing the songs I like.. so I can keep an eye for them on festival line ups.
  
• cooking on a portable gas stove
  
• camping with a group of strangers who are now feel like friends
  
• I can enjoy going to a festival by myself
  
• My little tent can survive the rain
  
• I can survive the cold nights
  
• I can persevere with the rain, cold, mud and also with my feet being in pain
  
• It only took me ten minutes to get out of the car park - so it pays to listen to people with the most experience.
  
• If you want you can get real close to a stage, you might just have to sacrifice a few things like space etc
  
• arrive early to pitch your tent.
  
• I could find the tent at night
  
• can survive the toilets

The whole experiences , has encouraged me to do more camping in the UK, travel a bit more, go to more festival type things and with regards to any out door adventure things.....  I will just do it!!!
